oGBA is a GBA emulator that runs entirely in the browser. Open the page, load a .gba file, and play. There's nothing to install. It feels like a handheld on your phone and stays out of the way on your desktop, and your progress follows you between the two.
Highlights
- Full-speed emulation. oGBA runs mGBA, one of the most accurate GBA emulators, compiled to WebAssembly. Games run at full speed on laptops and phones alike.
- A real handheld feel on mobile. Phones and tablets get a Delta-style controller skin with multi-touch, D-pad diagonals, thumb-sliding between buttons and haptic taps. Rotate to landscape for a full-screen view with translucent controls. You can import any GBA
.deltaskin from the menu.
- A clean desktop view. On a computer you get the game screen as large as it fits at a crisp scale, a side panel, and keyboard controls.
- Saves that follow you. Sign in with Google to get three cloud save slots per game, so you can save on your laptop and continue on your phone.
- Nothing lost on reload. In-game saves and an automatic resume point are kept on your device, even when you're not signed in.
- Installable and works offline. Add oGBA to your home screen. After the first visit it loads instantly and plays without a connection; only cloud saves need one.

Your games and saves
- Your ROMs stay on your device. The game you're playing is kept only in your browser so it can resume where you left off. It's never uploaded.
- Cloud saves are yours alone. Save states are stored privately under your account, and nobody else can see them.
oGBA doesn't come with any games. Please only play ROMs you own.
